This is a really good drugstore brand toner. It is nearly alcohol free and has Beta Hydroxy acid, which is actually better than Alpha Hydroxy. Their has always been a debate on whether or not toner is really necessary. After all, shouldn't my cleanser work good enough? But for only $6, I don't even care! :) It smells nice and makes my skin glow afterwards. It is perfect for sensitive skin or skin that is oilier, like mine, that you want to keep more "balanced." One caveat - for those with acne prone skin or severe skin challenges, I am afraid you would be disappointed. But for a nice, gentle, soothing toner - this does the job! Some reviewers commented on a "sticky film" afterwards. I am on my second bottle now and have never experienced this. My skin always looks cleaner afterwards and feels soothed.

I bought this in This Too Shall Glass, on a whim at a CVS store. I am constantly misplacing lip balms and glosses all over my car, in my purses, make-up bags and even at work! Sigghhh. A girl just can't win. :) This is just the best lip gloss. I am much more of a gloss girl than a lipstick girl and I have to say, I am picky when it comes it lip gloss. The taste must be pleasant, the gloss must be shiny, moisturizing and have good pigmentation. This has all of that! It is also not sticky and lasts. I was so pleased with this. I have bought other lip glosses, including budget brands such as Cover Girl's CG Smoothers, and this takes the cake, plus it was only a dollar or two. What a steal! It's both beautiful and smart. :)

Maybe it is because I am spoiled after using Bio Silk, but this product was just not good. I recently tried the heavier cream version of this by Garnier and liked it, but this one - uh uh! There were no smoothing benefits, and as odd as it sounds, I actually thought it did the opposite. My "cuticles" seemed rougher after I applied it. It didn't add any moisture or make it any silkier. As another reviewer stated, thank goodness it was inexpensive! :) I won't feel so guilty pitching it. My hair is a little dry on the ends, and a little coarse underneath. I usually blow dry it straight. If it couldn't do much for some frizz, I can't imagine it would do anything for a lot of frizz.

I was not aware this product was discontinued! I just received a free sample a few weeks ago at a women's conference I attended. It is a very nice lotion; however, the sample had a strange odor, almost like cologne for men, yet it stated Fragrance Free. It was very unpleasant. Ironically, I have a bottle of this lotion at my office that I use and it has no fragrance and is much nicer than the sample. How odd. If it truly smells like this, I would not purchase again for fear it would have the same odor.

This product, although fantastic, really isn't a scrub, but more of a gentle polisher. I started using this product and eventually switched to the regular Clinique Exfoliating Scrub; the 7 Day just wasn't strong enough for my oily skin. But if you have dryer skin, sensitive or more mature skin, this is a fabulous find! It has more of a moisturized base to it than the standard scrub does, and can even be tissued of if you prefer, rather than rinsing. All in all, it is a great product and a little goes a long way. I used it for years before I switched and was always happy with it.

For years, this has been my "go-to" scrub. I have tried to switch, to see if I could find something cheaper, but alas, I always come back to this! And the price really isn't that bad, considering how long one tube actually lasts. I have tried both the 7 Day Scrub and this one. In fact, I started using the 7 Day originally, but it wasn't strong enough for my oily, breakout-prone skin. The 7 Day is more of a "polisher" and is best for sensitive or dryer skin. I have tried many scrubs, including Soap & Glory, Clean & Clear, and St. Ives. This product surpasses them by far. And the best thing? If you don't like it, they will give you your money back, no questions asked. Guaranteed! Just love Clinique.

I received this as a free gift at a new Ulta store opening. I am so glad I didn't have to pay for this! I have such an issue with brands that market a product one way, when it is completely the opposite. This mascara is supposed to create volume and it simply does not. The formula is thin and requires multiple, multiple coats. Even for those natural beauties (I am one on the weekends! :) it required 5 coats. Can you imagine how many coats it would take to get vavoom volume? OMG. I don't have enough time in my day! On top of that, I found the style of the brush to be uncomfortable. However, it does create length (with 5+ coats, but it is still there) but again, Ulta didn't call this a lengthening mascara. This mascara does absolutely nothing special.

I read all of the great reviews on this product and couldn't wait to go out and try it! I bought it at Target, with a coupon since I am a budget beauty, and am disappointed with this. Yes it smells nice, yes there is a lot of product for the price and yes it is cooling and soothing (especially in the fridge, as other reviewers suggested!) but that's about all. There really are no other benefits for this product. I don't feel like it offers any true moisture or anti-aging protection, or even relief of puffiness. However, as a novelty, fun, "pick me up" type of product, it works just fine. I have tried the Olay eye gel before and Yes to Cucumbers is much better, but it really doesn't do anything beyond this. I will continue to use the pump until empty, but will not purchase again.

I purchased this product at Target in a really cute "summer" themed set for only $3! What a steal. The colors were so complimentary together, it looked like it was made just for me. It lasts all day and looks so natural. It is a great quality product and I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely recommend this product and will be repurchasing. One tip - when applying the bronzer, make sure to blow off the excess and blend really well. The only downfall? There is not much product in the compact, but for a girl that is endlessly changing her mind? It's just perfect. :)

I think some reviewers may be taking the "calming" bit too literally! Yes, the smell is heavenly and divine, and helps me breath in deeply and relax, but I don't think it is guaranteed to calm. A trip to the spa will help that! :) However, this is a steal of a bargain and feels so good to apply and leaves my skin so incredibly soft. It absorbs so well and did not leave my skin sticky.
